The trailer for the second instalment of the Percy Jackson series 'The Sea of Monsters' is finally here welcoming the return of four members of 'The Lightning Thief's all-star cast along with some exciting new additions.

Following a pretty harrowing school year in discovering that his father is the Greek god Poseidon in 'Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief', Percy Jackson's ordeal is nowhere near over. In the words of Spider-Man, 'With great power comes great responsibility' and that certainly applies here as now the new Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters trailer shows that Percy is forced to defend his half-god friends and family from the destructive forces of  Kronos; a force so evil his sons Zeus, Hades and Poseidon had him destroyed. With his dark spirit now a threat to the world, Percy must recover the Golden Fleece; the only object that can save the world and which is located in the unambiguously named Sea of Monsters. Returning to join him on his quest is his good friend Annabeth Chase played by Alexandra Daddario plus new additions in the shape Douglas Smith as his half-brother Tyson and Leven Rambin, who plays the feisty Clarisse, daughter of the God of War. Logan Lerman makes his return as Percy and Jake Abel is back as the double-crossing son of Hermes, Luke. We also see Brandon T. Jackson back as Percy's best friend Grover Underwood, who's less than happy about Percy's dangerous mission.

The Sea of Monsters movie also sees new stars in the form of 'Castle' actor Nathan Fillion who plays the messenger God Hermes, the Oscar nominated Stanley Tucci as the God of Wine Dionysus and 'Merlin' star Anthony Head taking over from Pierce Brosnan as Chiron, the centaur leader of Camp Half-Blood. As well as cast additions/alterations, we see Thor Freudenthal ('Diary of a Wimpy Kid', 'Hotel for Dogs') in the role of director, following Chris Columbus' departure from the role after Lightning Thief. Expect it to hit cinemas from August 16th 2013!
